T-6 landing on Hwy 41 at OSH

Every chance, Bob. Back in the '60s when I did my primary training it was
quite common for the instructor to pull the plug over the airport and have
you "make" the field. The prop on the 0-200 150 stopped at best glide
speed.

In the O-300 172 I took into the bridge at Grass Valley with dual mag
failure, the prop stopped at best glide speed.

In the O-470 182 I put onto the dragstrip at Hanna with a blown jug, the
prop stopped at best glide speed.

Sorry, them's the facts.

My experience is different. When I did prop stopped glide testing in the
RV-6, I had to go well under 60 knots indicated to get the prop to stop. And
I fly behind a wood prop which has very little inertia. A metal prop would
have probably windmilled at an even slower speed.
